A screaming burst weapon functions as a screaming weapon.
In addition, the weapon explodes with sonic energy on a successful critical hit, dealing extra sonic damage as set out in the table below. (This effect activates even if the target is not normally subject to extra damage from critical hits.) This burst does not harm you or any creature other than the target. This is a continuous effect and requires no activation. Even if the weapon has not been activated to deal extra damage because of the screaming property, the weapon still deals its extra sonic damage on a successful critical hit.
